Results of Operations
The Company continues to operate as two different businesses: (1) The Traditional Business, being the business of newspaper publishing and related services that the Company had before 1999 when it purchased a software development company, and (2)Journal Technologies, Inc. ("Journal Technologies"), a wholly-owned subsidiary which supplies case management software systems and related products to courts, prosecutor and public defender offices, probation departments and other justice agencies, including administrative law organizations, city and county governments and bar associations. These organizations use the Journal Technologies family of products to help manage cases and information electronically, to interface with other critical justice partners and to extend electronic services to the public, including efiling and a website to pay traffic citations and fees online. These products are licensed in approximately 30 states and internationally.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
OnMarch 13, 2020 ,the United States declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a national emergency, and several states and municipalities also declared public health emergencies. Unprecedented actions were taken by public health and other governmental authorities to contain and combat the spread of COVID-19, including "stay-at-home" orders and similar mandates that restricted the daily activities of individuals and limited the operation of businesses that were deemed "non-essential". In addition, most of Journal Technologies' customers, which are primarily courts and governmental agencies inthe United States ,Canada andAustralia , were either closed or significantly scaled back their activities. Similarly, many law firms and companies from which the Traditional Business derives advertising and subscription revenues also curtailed their in-person operations and spending. Management believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and, with the Delta and Omicron variant cases, and most recently the more contagious BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variant cases, will continue to have, a significant impact on the Company's business operations. It is also possible that governments may again take actions in response to the pandemic and new variants and sub-variants, such as a renewed closure, or scaling back of operations, of courts and other governmental agencies that are the customers of the Company. Furthermore, even as courts, governmental agencies and other businesses return to more normal operations, there are likely to be changes in those operations and personal behaviors going forward, including limitations on travel and more working from home, which will adversely affect the Company, its financial results and cash flows. Due to the uncertainties associated with the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the efforts to contain it, and the related changes in business operations and personal behaviors, management cannot at this point estimate the magnitude of its impact on the Company's business operations. In recent years, the newspaper industry, including our Traditional Business, has declined, and we expect this general trend to continue due to the impacts of COVID-19 and its aftermath, including fewer lawyers receiving our newspapers at their offices as they continue to work from home. For Journal Technologies, there have been several delays or cancellations in government procurement processes. Also, although we have been able to complete some existing projects remotely, we have been delayed in finishing certain implementations and trainings because of our inability to work with clients in-person. Given that we are typically paid for implementation services upon "go-live" of a system, receipt of those revenues has been delayed. 16 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated Financial Comparison
Consolidated revenues were$34,797,000 and$37,952,000 for the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease of$3,155,000 (8%) was primarily from decreases in (i) Journal Technologies' license and maintenance fees of$3,269,000 and public service fees of$21,000 , and (ii) the Traditional Business' circulation revenues of$179,000 , partially offset by increases in Journal Technologies' consulting fees of$48,000 and the Traditional Business' advertising net revenues of$30,000 and advertising service fees and other of$236,000 . Approximately 68% of the Company's revenues during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 were derived from Journal Technologies, as compared with 71% in the prior fiscal year period. In addition, the Company's revenues have been primarily fromthe United States , with approximately 5% from foreign countries. Almost all of Journal Technologies' revenues are from governmental agencies. Consolidated operating expenses increased by$833,000 (2%) to$36,471,000 from$35,638,000 for the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 . Total salaries and employee benefits increased by$927,000 (4%) to$26,745,000 from$25,818,000 primarily because of (i) salary adjustments and some Australian payroll tax accruals. Outside services increased by$676,000 (30%) to$2,912,000 from$2,236,000 mainly because of increased third-party hosting fees which were billed to clients. Newsprint and printing expenses increased by$60,000 (13%) to$529,000 from$469,000 primarily resulting from newsprint price increases and additional purchases of printing supplies. Other general and administrative expenses increased by$938,000 (60%) to$2,492,000 from$1,554,000 mainly because there were increased miscellaneous office equipment purchases and business travel expenses as compared to the prior fiscal year period. The Company's non-operating income, net of expenses, decreased by$190,978,000 to a loss of$38,858,000 from a gain of$152,120,000 in the prior fiscal year period primarily because of the recordings of (i) net unrealized losses on marketable securities of$57,075,000 during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 as compared with net unrealized gains of$131,754,000 in the prior year period, and (ii) realized net gains on sales of marketable securities of$14,249,000 during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 as compared with$18,478,000 in the prior year period. In addition, there were gains of$272,000 on a partial land sale associated with the City of Logan's street widening project. During the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 , the Company's consolidated pretax loss was$40,532,000 , as compared to pretax income of$154,434,000 in the prior fiscal year period. There was consolidated net loss of$30,797,000 (-$22.31 per share) for the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared with consolidated net income of$114,319,000 ($82.80 per share) in the prior fiscal year period. AtJune 30, 2022 , the aggregate fair market value of the Company's marketable securities was$341,855,000 . These securities had approximately$187,018,000 of net unrealized gains before taxes of$50,540,000 . They generated approximately$4,251,000 in dividends income during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 , as compared with$2,063,000 in the prior fiscal year period. Most of the unrealized gains were in the common stocks of threeU.S. financial institutions and one foreign manufacturer. 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taxes For the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 , the Company recorded an income tax benefit of$9,735,000 on the pretax loss of$40,532,000 . The income tax benefit consisted of a tax benefit of$15,425,000 on the unrealized losses on marketable securities and a benefit of$250,000 for the dividends received deduction and other permanent book and tax differences, offset by tax provisions of$3,850,000 on the realized gains on marketable securities,$500,000 on income from operations, and$1,590,000 for the effect of a change in state apportionment on the beginning of the year's deferred tax liability. Consequently, the overall effective tax rate for the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 was 24%, after including the taxes on the realized gains and unrealized losses on marketable securities. For the nine months endedJune 30, 2021 , the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of$40,115,000 on pretax income of$154,434,000 . This was the net result of applying the effective tax rate anticipated for fiscal 2021 to pretax income before the unrealized and realized gains on marketable securities for the nine months endedJune 30, 2021 . The effective rate of 21.32%, which was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes which were offset by the dividends received deduction, resulted in a tax provision of$896,000 on pretax income before the unrealized and realized gains on marketable securities. In addition, the Company recorded a tax provision of$34,405,000 on the unrealized gains on marketable securities, and a tax provision of$4,821,000 on the realized gains on marketable securities, both of which were offset by a tax benefit of$7,000 for the effect of a change in state apportionment on the beginning of the year's deferred tax liability. Consequently, the overall effective tax rate for the nine months endedJune 30, 2021 was 26%, after including the taxes on the realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities. The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns inthe United States and with various state jurisdictions and is no longer subject to examinations for fiscal years before fiscal 2018 with regard to federal income taxes and fiscal 2017 for state income taxes.
The Traditional Business (for the nine-month periods ended
The Traditional Business' pretax income increased by
During the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 , the Traditional Business had total operating revenues of$11,158,000 , as compared with$11,071,000 in the prior fiscal year period. Advertising revenues increased by$30,000 (1%) to$5,679,000 from$5,649,000 , primarily because of increased legal notice advertising net revenues of$122,000 and trustee sale notice advertising net revenues of$130,000 primarily resulting from the lifting of the foreclosure moratoriums relative to the "Eviction and Foreclosure Orders" and lenders' processing files that were already in the pipeline when the pandemic struck. These increases were offset by decreased government notice advertising net revenues of$149,000 and commercial advertising net revenues of$73,000 . Trustee sale notices are very much dependent on the number ofCalifornia andArizona foreclosures for which public notice advertising is required by law. The number of foreclosure notices published by the Company increased by 63% during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 as compared to the prior fiscal year period, primarily because of the lifting of foreclosure moratoriums, as discussed above. The Company's smaller newspapers, those other than theLos Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journals ("The Daily Journals"), accounted for about 87% of the total public notice advertising revenues during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 . Public notice advertising revenues and related advertising and other service fees, including trustee sales legal advertising revenues, constituted about 19% of the Company's total operating revenues for the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 and 16% in the prior fiscal year period. 19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Daily Journals accounted for about 92% of the Traditional Business' total circulation revenues, which declined by$179,000 (5%) to$3,279,000 from$3,458,000 . The court rule and judicial profile services generated about 5% of the total circulation revenues, with the other newspapers and services accounting for the balance. Advertising service fees and other are Traditional Business segment revenues, which include primarily (i) agency commissions received from outside newspapers in which the advertising is placed, and (ii) fees generated when filing notices with government agencies. The Traditional Business segment operating expenses, excluding the adjustments to the long-term supplemental compensation accrual, increased by$150,000 (2%) to$9,741,000 from$9,591,000 , primarily resulting from the annual salary adjustments.
Journal Technologies (for the nine-month periods ended
During the nine months ended
Revenues decreased by$3,242,000 (12%) to$23,639,000 from$26,881,000 in the prior fiscal year period. Licensing and maintenance fees decreased by$3,269,000 (19%) to$13,721,000 from$16,990,000 primarily resulting from the reduction in legacy software products' maintenance and support revenues as the Company ended effectiveJuly 1, 2021 the maintenance of these legacy software products, so as to focus on supporting the Company's main eSeries products. Consulting fees increased by$48,000 (1%) to$4,697,000 from$4,649,000 . Other public service fees decreased by$21,000 to$5,221,000 from$5,242,000 primarily due to decreased traffic citation fee revenues. Deferred consulting fees primarily represent advances from customers of Journal Technologies for installation services and are recognized upon final project go-lives. Deferred revenues on license and maintenance contracts represent prepayments of annual license and maintenance fees and are recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Operating expenses increased by$2,118,000 (9%) to$26,755,000 from$24,637,000 primarily because of (i) increased personnel costs resulting from the salary adjustments and some Australian payroll tax accruals, (ii) increased third-party hosting fees which were billed to clients and (iii) additional miscellaneous office equipment purchases and increased business travel expenses.
Journal Technologies continues to update and upgrade its software products. These costs are expensed as incurred and will impact earnings at least through the foreseeable future.

Journal Technologies (for the three-month periods ended
During the three months ended
Revenues decreased by$800,000 (8%) to$8,679,000 from$9,479,000 in the prior fiscal year period. Licensing and maintenance fees decreased by$969,000 (17%) to$4,633,000 from$5,602,000 primarily resulting from the reduction in legacy software products' maintenance and support revenues. Consulting fees increased by$167,000 (8%) to$2,267,000 from$2,100,000 . Other public service fees increased slightly by$2,000 to$1,779,000 from$1,777,000 .

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 , the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable security positions decreased by$9,434,000 , after the sales of marketable securities of approximately$80,570,000 and additional net borrowing of$43,000,000 from the margin loan account, partially offset by the recording of net pretax unrealized losses on marketable securities of$57,075,000 . Cash, cash equivalents, the proceeds from the sales of marketable securities and additional net borrowing were primarily used to purchase additional marketable securities of$117,678,000 . The investments in marketable securities, which had an adjusted cost basis of approximately$154,837,000 and a market value of about$341,855,000 atJune 30, 2022 , generated approximately$4,251,000 in dividends income during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 . These securities had approximately$187,018,000 of net unrealized gains before estimated taxes of$50,540,000 which will become due only when we sell securities in which there is unrealized appreciation. Cash flows from operating activities decreased by$9,887,000 during the nine months endedJune 30, 2022 as compared to the prior fiscal year period, primarily due to (i) increases in deferred tax assets of$50,901,000 and the Company's income tax receivable of$4,551,000 , (ii) decreases in the Company's income tax payable of$6,619,000 and (iii) decreases in net accounts payable and accrued liabilities of$2,802,000 (because of the timing difference in remitting efiling fees to the courts). This was partially offset by (i) increases in net income of$47,942,000 , excluding the increases in unrealized losses on marketable securities of$188,829,000 and decreases in realized net gains on sales of marketable securities of$4,229,000 , (ii) decreases in the Company's accounts receivable of$2,118,000 mainly resulting from more collections, and (iii) increases in deferred revenues of$5,143,000 .
As of
The Company believes that it will be able to fund its operations for the foreseeable future through its cash flows from operations and its current working capital and expects that any such cash flows will be invested in its businesses. The Company may or may not have the ability to borrow additional amounts against its marketable securities and, among other possibilities, it may be required to consider selling some of those securities to generate cash if needed to fund ongoing operations. The amount available for borrowing is based on the market value of the Company's investment portfolio and fluctuates depending on the value of the underlying securities. In addition, the Company could be subject to margin calls should the balance of the investment decrease significantly. 23

The Company is not a smaller version of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Instead, it hopes to be a significant software company while it also operates its Traditional Business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Management believes that revenue recognition, accounting for software costs, fair value measurement and disclosures (including the long-term Incentive Plan liabilities) and income taxes are critical accounting policies and estimates. The Company's critical accounting policies are detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedSeptember 30, 2021 . The above discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. 24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
